In animal cells, besides DNA replication in the nucleus, which of the following events occurs in the cytoplasm during the S phase?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Centriole duplication in cytoplasm
During the S phase, DNA replication begins in the nucleus, and the centriole duplicates in the cytoplasm. This is essential for the later formation of the mitotic apparatus.
